Interactive Data Display for JavaScript

Interactive Data Display

Interactive Data Display for JavaScript (IDD for short) is a set of controls for adding interactive visualization of dynamic data to your application. It allows to create line graphs, bubble charts, heat maps and other complex 2D plots which are very common in scientific software. Dynamic Data Display integrates well with Bing Maps control to show data on a geographic map in latitude/longitude coordinates. The controls can also be operated programmatically.

IDD is being developed in close collaboration between Information Technologies in Sciences laboratory of Moscow State University and Microsoft Research Cambridge.

Documentation is available here.

Samples

You can find several live samples here. Note that they can use not the latest release of the IDD.

For the full set of samples which work with the latest release consider Building IDD (section below) and open samples from "Samples" directory after the build succeeds.

Building IDD

In order to build IDD, you need Node.js/npm and git.

Clone a copy of the IDD git repo, enter IDD directory and install development tools packages:

cd idd

npm install -g yarn

yarn install

Now you can build and test IDD by running the grunt command without arguments:

grunt

File IDDSamples.html in the root of idd repository contains many samples. Note that some browsers don't run web workers from local file system for security reasons so some samples may not work if opening IDDSamples.html as local file.

Interactive Data Display is available as NPM package.

Use yarn: yarn add interactive-data-display

or npm: npm i interactive-data-display
